"In Sister Ling'er's parents' case... they're just too awful! How could they treat their own daughter like that?"
[In the Car]
After hearing Lin Mo describe what had happened inside the house, Ning Xi sympathized with Zhao Lingyun.
"Sister Ling'er is just too pitiful!"
Lin Mo said thankfully, "Luckily we got there in time."
"Otherwise, Zhao Lingyun's life would have been ruined."
In his previous life, although Zhao Lingyun had also been forced into a relationship with Chairman Zhang against her will, at least Chairman Zhang had openly and properly married her.
But in this life, because of everything that had happened before, history had changed, causing Chairman Zhang to become twisted and decide to take Zhao Lingyun by force.
With Zhao Lingyun's personality, if Lin Mo hadn't arrived in time tonight and Chairman Zhang had taken her innocence, when she woke up tomorrow, she might even have committed su!cide.
At this point, Ning Xi asked, "Brother Lin Mo, where are we going now?"
"Let's find a hotel first," Lin Mo said.
———
Soon, the cars arrived at the five-star Huating Hotel.
Lin Mo tried to book rooms for the bodyguards, but they refused.
"Mr. Lin, we'll protect your safety outside your room twenty-four hours a day. You don't need to worry about us."
It had to be said, although Tiandun Security charged high prices, their service really was excellent.
The money was well spent.
Without another word, Lin Mo immediately transferred another fifty million yuan to Tiandun Security.
After all, the thirty million yuan he had previously paid in two installments, according to Tiandun's rates, was only enough to hire four hundred bodyguards for half a month.
There were still two months before Divine Oracle descended into reality.
That meant he still needed their protection for another two months.
Seeing that Ning Xi had no objections, Lin Mo booked two single king rooms at the front desk.
Just after settling Zhao Lingyun into her room, she suddenly woke up.
She sat up, hugged Lin Mo, and burst into tears.
"Why?"
"What did I do wrong?"
"Why are they treating me like this?"
Lin Mo quickly raised both hands and gave Ning Xi an innocent look that seemed to say, 'See? She's the one hugging me. I'm really not hugging her.'
Ning Xi comforted Zhao Lingyun, "Sister Ling'er, you didn't do anything wrong. They're the ones who were wrong."
"You shouldn't have been treated like that. And from now on, you won't be bullied by them anymore, because Brother Lin Mo and I will always stay by your side and protect you."
Only then did Zhao Lingyun come back to her senses and realize she had acted inappropriately.
She hurriedly let go of Lin Mo and said to him and Ning Xi with a red face, "S-Sorry... I was just suddenly so upset. I didn't mean to..."
"It's okay."
Seeing Zhao Lingyun curl up on the bed with her arms wrapped around her shoulders, still looking frightened, Ning Xi said to Lin Mo, "Brother Lin Mo, why don't I stay with Sister Ling'er for a while?"
"Okay. I'll be next door. Call me if you need anything."
"Mm!"
Lin Mo went to the room next door alone.
Although he and Ning Xi had been dating and living together for quite some time, Ning Fei had always been around like a three-thousand-watt light bulb.
Even though Lin Mo and Ning Xi were together every day, it somehow felt like they were in a long-distance relationship.
'Finally! At last!'
Without Ning Fei, the third wheel, tonight belonged to just Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
Thinking about what was going to happen next, Lin Mo couldn't help looking forward to it.
However, after waiting for a long time, Ning Xi never came back to her room.
Instead, he only received a message from her.
[Brother Lin Mo, how about I sleep with Sister Ling'er tonight? I think she was really frightened.]
A little disappointed, Lin Mo could only reply, [Okay. Then get some rest early.[
Ning Xi: [Mm, you too.]
Ning Xi: [Brother Lin Mo...]
Lin Mo: [Hm?]
Silence...
Ning Xi: [Love you! ❤️]
Smiling, Lin Mo replied, [Silly girl. Go to sleep early. Remember to log in before seven tomorrow morning.]
Ning Xi: [Hmph! You didn't say it!]
Lin Mo: [Say what?]
Ning Xi: [(Angry)]
Lin Mo: [Love you too.]
Ning Xi: [Hehe~ Good night, Brother Lin Mo.]
———
Lin Mo put down his phone and got ready to sleep.
A little while later, he suddenly heard the sound of a key card unlocking the door, followed by it opening.
A shadow quietly approached the bedside.
Lin Mo immediately became fully alert.
'Did someone track me down in the real world again right after I came out?'
'But aren't bodyguards standing guard outside?'
'How did this man get in?'
There was no time to think.
He deliberately pretended to be asleep, using the faintest sounds to judge the intruder's position.
The instant the person reached the bedside...
Whoosh!
Lin Mo reacted instantly, sprang up, and pinned the person onto the bed.
Click!
He switched on the light.
Only then did Lin Mo realize in surprise that the man beneath him was... Ning Xi.
Ning Xi was also staring at him with wide eyes.
"B-Brother Lin Mo..."
"Sister Ling'er said she didn't need me to stay with her anymore, so I came over. I thought you were asleep and didn't want to wake you..."
Lin Mo let out a sigh of relief.
There was nothing he could do.
The last time the Tyrant attacked him in the real world had really left a shadow in his mind.
Lin Mo sighed lightly, "I thought you were some thief."
"Brother Lin Mo..."
"Hm?"
Looking at Lin Mo with her clear, beautiful eyes, Ning Xi said softly, "You're hurting me..."
Only then did Lin Mo notice that Ning Xi's slender wrist had already turned red from how tightly he had grabbed it.
He quickly loosened his grip.
But he still remained on top of her without getting up.
Feeling the softness beneath him, for the first time in a long while, Ning Xi made Lin Mo's usually steady emotions fall completely into disarray.
He lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.
At the same time, Ning Xi wrapped both arms around Lin Mo's neck.
She closed her eyes...
As their clothes came off one by one, Lin Mo's kisses fell across every inch of Ning Xi's fair, smooth, sweetly scented skin.
As Ning Xi's breathing grew more and more hurried, Lin Mo reached toward his travel bag.
At that moment, it was as if he suddenly realized something. His heart skipped a beat.
Ning Xi opened her eyes and saw Lin Mo suddenly frozen there, not knowing what to do.
"Brother Lin Mo, what's wrong?"
"I... forgot to bring that."
Lin Mo remembered that last night, because he thought they wouldn't be coming to Zhuzhou after all, he had put the condoms he had prepared back into the drawer.
After that, he had forgotten to take them again.
At this moment, there was no turning back...
Just as Lin Mo was regretting his carelessness, Ning Xi suddenly sat up, wrapped her arms around Lin Mo's neck, and gently pushed him down beneath her.
Her clear yet slightly hazy eyes looked deeply into his.
The next second, Ning Xi leaned down.
Lin Mo rolled over and pressed Ning Xi beneath him once more.
Their fingers intertwined...
That night, was ordinary.
And yet, extraordinary.
